Dear Diary – Just before leaving for Europe, I bought myself a newer version of the DSC-RX100. It’s the 3rd version and aptly named the Sony DSC-RX100M3.
I have been very happy with the old one but after all these years, that camera needed an upgrade for me. The newer version has a much better light sensitivity and auto-focus, two things that are important to me when shooting outside. Also, it’s great to have a valuable back up when my bigger cam fails. It’s small and the quality is still amazing for such a small camera. When I film outside, I prefer to use this one than the big professional-looking camera. Less attention. Some girls also prefer a little camera since they can get scared by the big ones, haha. Of course, in these times of iPhone cameras, it might be the last time I buy such a camera. I expect the smart phones to replace all the other cameras in the near future.
One bad thing about this new version, though, is that it can’t take pics and video at the same time. That’s a pity, since I used that option a lot. Also check out the iPhone7 Camera
